(Aii: Columbia) 

O, may we have, soon, a republic; 

A republic in fact, as in name; 
Which we may accord democratic, 

And worthy of honor eind fame; 
And worthy true sons and true daughters; 

All true lives are not without aim; 
With high aim we'll raise our good standard. 

And justify liberty's claim; 

And justify liberty's claim, 

And justify liberty's claim. 
With high aim we'll raise our good standard, 

And justify liberty's claim. 



And when we become a republic, 

A republic so just and so fair. 
Enacting of laws less chaotic; 

The welfare of all be our care; 
The painstaking care of good mothers. 

Their love for their children — thteir prayer 
That good laws should give them protection; 

And for them will suffer and dsure, 

And for them will suffer and dare; 
I 



A TRUE REPUBLIC 

And for them will suffer and dare, 

That good laws should give thern protection; 

And for them will suffer and dare. 

O then will the flag of our country. 

Be truly the flag of the free; 
It then will be worthy devotion; 

T'will then mean our ov\ti liberty; 
Its folds are the same as another, 

Which flies for "divine rights of kings," 
But bright stars shine forth in our banner 

While to freedom's standard it clings; 

While to freedom's standard it clings; 

While to freedom's standard it clings; 
But bright stars shme forth in our banner, 

While to freedom's standard it clings. 

These bright stars the pride of our women; 

To them, hope and courage they lend; 
These shine with a brightness unequaled; 

Each lover of freedom befriend; 
These stars represent our own free states. 

Where women are citizens, too; 
Where women have won recognition 

And rejoice in the red, white and blue; 

And rejoice in the red, white and blue. 

And fejoice in the red, white cmd blue. 
Where women have won reco&.nition 

And rejoice in the red, white and blue. 

Old stars on our emblem are dimming; 

Will they soon fade forever from sight? 
Or grow brighter, and shine out in glory, 

Dispelling the darkness of night; 
The darkness oi this keen injustice. 

Whose shadows appall and affright: 
2 



A NEW AMERICA 

One, by one, bright stars are appearing, 

And each one we hail with delight ! 

And each one we hail with delight ! 

And each one we hail with delight ! 
One, by one, bright stars are appearing, 

And each one we hail with delight I 

One, by one, these dim stars now are glowing, 

When brightened by Liberty's flame; 
The love of true freedom is growing; 

Arouse ye ! and add to her fame. 
Henceforth, be not tardy in sowing; 

In reaping, our birthright reclaim; 
Our lives will be truly worth living, 

"To make the world better," our aim; 
"To make the world better," our aim; 
"To make the world better," our aim; 
Our lives will be truly worth living, 

"To make the worid better," our aim. 



A Nf m Am^rtra 

(Air: America) 

I . Your country, yours alone; 
This "land of liberty" 

You claim to own; 
Land by our fathers won, 
Justice their noble aim. 
Freedom for everyone 

From kingdom flown. 

2. Our mothers equal fared, 
And all misfortune shared 
In this new world; 
3 



A NEW AMERICA 

With freedom's cause allied, 

In countless ways they plied 

For vict'ry; then with pride 

Was flag unfurled. 

3. Our mothers now denied; 
And them such wrongs betide. 

Not well expressed; 
Who thus for freedom sighed. 
Not heretofore decried; 
To aid us, now decide. 

In this our quest. 

4. Proudly no king you own; 
That freedom which, alone. 

You claim by might. 
Mothers and fathers brave 
Gained, daring storm and wave; 
Faithful to death and grave, 

They won the fight. 

5. Your country, yours the "throne," 
Your land of liberty. 

You wear the crown; 
Land where our fathers made 
Homes, At; our mothers' aid, 
O'eV every hill and glade. 

You play the icing. 

6. Grant us our liberty. 
Land of our brothers free, 

Thy fairness prove; 
Then will our hearts be cheered. 
Our native land endeared, 
Grave wrongs no longer feared, 

Thy name we'd love. 
4 



TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION 

7. Our brothers, now of thee 
We ask our liberty; 

And not in vain; 
True freedom's brilliant light 
Will then be seen aright. 
Aloft, on glorious height 

Will never wane. 

8. Let gladsome notes in dells 
Ring out to all the hills 

True freedom's song; 
Let now your sisters wake ! 
And for real valor's sake 
Chains of injustice break, 

Worn now too long ! 

9. Come, join our common cause; 
United make our laws 

Which all must heed ! 
Take, hence, a broader view, 
Pledge, now, yourselves anew 
To freedom, and justice, too. 

For this we plead ! 



(Air: Star Spangled Banner.) 

"Taxation ■without representation i« tyranny' 
"Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God" 

O, say, is it right to prolong, now, this fight. 
By what reasoning fair do you sanction taxation? 
Taxation unjust has our women oppressed; 
Their uttermost share do they bear in this nation. 
Of rulers no choice; in the laws have no voice; 
In tyranny's fetters they cannot rejoice. 
3 



TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION 

Chorus: 
Then rouse ye, for freedom, for justice and right ! 
Be true to our cause, and let none dare affright. 

2. Whatever the flaws, with no voice in the laws, 
This burden they bear, though they suffer privation; 

To be robbed of their homes by taxation's harsh tomes. 
Seems mode, so unfair, of eternal duration; 
Then this be our plea, that our land may be free, 
And worthy may be of the love of her own. 
Chorus. 

3. Our women have earned, by necessity learned; 
No idlers are they, and must meet competition; 
Go forth to their toil, and though painfully moil, 
So few are e'er seen wdth a vagrant's petition. 
They bravely achieve, e'en with none to relieve. 
And all must admire; in their courage believe. 

Chorus. 

4. Our mothers deserve, as they faithfully serve 
Long hours in the home with unselfish devotion 
From morn until night: artificial the light 

They continue their work; give it, hence, recognition. 
Henceforth, be it known, that no paupers we own. 
But gladly accord to all workers, "well done !'* 
Chorus. 

5. Our women are taxed, and are liable, too. 

Or who has despoiled them of their own just earnings? 
Long hours, and brave toil, by our mothers so kind, 
O, who has the heart to discredit their learning? 
Were our country deprived of the good thus derived, 
Much, then, of our boasting would be quite short-lived. 
Chorus. 
6 



OUR NATIVE LAND 

6. "Our mothers" the theme, of the noblest of meri. 

And songs in their praise, will unite all in singing; 
Not merely their praise, but due justice from sons, 
Then voices we'll raise, with the genuine ringing; 
Just tribute we'll bring, and rejoice while we sing; 
Glad voices we'll raise, and sound forth the "true ring. 

7. Give freely to them, as to you they have given; 
Strive valiantly, now, as for you they have striven; 
All rights which you claim, as good citizens true, 
Grant freely to them, and with joy in the giving. 
By word and by deed, may you willingly lead 
The world, in thy might, for plain justice and right. 



(Air: My Maryland. Repeat last two lines of each ver«e.) 

1 . O native land, our native land, 

This our plea — our liberty; 
And brothers true, we ask of you 

Lend a hand for victory; 
For freedom, grand, now lend a hand, 

For justice will we make demand; 
II And now give heed, as thus we plead, 

May we, now, thy aid command. || 

2. O native land, our native land. 

True to thee, we'll ever be 
When, by thy laws, true freedom's cause 

Gains for us the victory; 
O native land, our native land. 

Then nobly free from strand to strand; 
7 



WOMAN'S BATTLE SONG 

II Thy glory'U be, thy women free, 
In liberty, in truth to stand. 1 1 

). O native land, our native land. 

Freedom's cause thy breezes fanned; 
Thy glorious flag for justice planned. 
Deftly made by woman's hand; 
Bring emblem nigh, no fold awry. 

Lift banner high ! this be our cry; 
jl And then, no more, from shore to shore. 
Daughters fair, as aliens brand. || 



(Air: Battle Hymn ol tbe Republic) 

1 . We are not killing people, but Old Prejudice must go ! 
The good wireless leads in battle for the coming victory; 
Never shots and shells, but principles, will pave the new highway; 

As we go bravely on. 

Chorus: Freedom's banner we're unfurling. 
See the brighter stars now glowing! 
We'll no longer be delaying. 
We'll battle for the right. 

2. The power of the pen, and never cruelty of sword. 
Never injured, dying, bodies; but the sacredness of word. 
That good word which comes by wireless, that kind word which 

As we go bravely on. [helps our cause. 
Chorus. 

3. All uphold our country's honor best, by loyalty of life. 

By a calm and quiet courage, when loud bickerings are rife; 

8 



WOMAN'S BATTLE SONG 

To excel in noble efforts then should be our only strife. 
As we go bravely on. 
Chorus. 

4. Lives of honor, lives courageous, are our country's greatest need; 
Not the slaughter of her heroes at the call of cruel greed; 

The real hero of the future wins the best, by noblest deed. 
As we go bravely on. 
Chorus. 

5. We all know that moral courage is our nation's plainest need; 
We should cultivate our reason, and from passions dark, be freed; 
All true leaders in this battle, will receive world's highest meed. 

As we go bravely on. 
Chorus. 

6. All such leaders now are welcomed in this better, grand, highway; 
See this noble host advancing ! See the dawn of brighter day I 
Thus to lead the world, our motto, with recruits from blue and 

As we go bravely on. [g^ay. 

Chorus. 

7. To excel in peaceful warfare, hence, should ever be our aim; 
To enhance a noble freedom, settle rightly each just claim; 
Give the franchise to our women, and exalt our country's fame; 

As we go bravely on. 
Chorus. 

8. See the justice of our principles, our weapon in the fight, 
And while bat'ling for our freedom, we will keep our armor bright; 
Then since naught can pierce such armor, we will never take to 

As we go bravely on. [flight; 

Chorus. 

9. Justly now demand our freedom, human liberty and rights; 
To withold these from your mothers true, the tree of freedom 

9 [blights. 



THE MOTHERS ARE COMING 

Blights this glorious tree of shelter, ever growing on the heights, 
Its healing leaves in view. 

Chorus: Freedom's banner we're unfurling, 
See the brighter stars now glowing ! 
We'll no longer be delaying. 
We'll battle for the right. 



1 0. Our just right to have its shelter, now so long to us denied; 
And our right to dwell in happiness beneath its cooling shade; 
O, when shielded by its branches, may its bright leaves never 
'Twill be our joy and pride. [fade 1 

Chorus. 

1 I . Yet, when this tree was planted, now so fme, so high, so strong, 
We its praises freely chaunted, too oblivious of our wrong; 
But, when its shelter's granted, we will sing a rousing song; 
For then "we'll all belong." 
Chorus. 



(Air: "OL. HuA Theo. My BabU") 

O dear little children, like babes in the wood. 
The mothers are coming, will see you have food; 

Will see you have food; 
Will see you have raiment, will lead you away 
From the wolves who are seeking, are seeking their prey; 
From the wolves who are seeking, are seeking their prey; 

Are seeking, are seeking their prey. 

The mothers are coming! 
10 



THE MOTHERS ARE COMING 

2. Those watching and waiting are cruel in greed, 

Are thoughtless, and heed not your suffering and need; 

Your suffering and need. 
All should be awakened, awakened to truth, 
We are robbing the children, we sacrifice youth; 
We are robbing the children, we sacrifice youth; 

We sacrifice, sacrifice youth. 

The mothers are coming! 

3. They're robbed of the sunshine, they're robbed of pure air, 
Half famished, unnourished, when found in the lair; 

When found in the lair; 
Sanitation neglected, neglected the care. 
The care of surroundings, of comfort so bare; 
The care of surroundings, of comfort so bare; 

Of comfort, of comfort so bare. 

The mothers are coming! 

4. We heed not their youth, and we place m their path 
Temptations, regardless of day of great wrath; 

Of day of great wrath; 
The wrath of the judges, attorneys and all. 
The laws are now broken, but v/ho caused their fall? 
The laws are now broken, but who caused their fall? 

Who caused, O, who caused their fall? 

The mothers are coming! 

5. If such ways accord with "man's reasoning so fine," 
"Intuition" is needed and for it we pine; 

And for it we pine; 
As a nation we need it, our need it is great; 
Many changes are needed in town and in state; 
Many changes are needed in town and in state; 

In city, in town and in state. 

The mothers are coming! 
It 



THE MOTHERS ARE COMING 

6. United our efforts, improvement will come, 
Escape from the tyrant, that old tyrant Rum; 

That old tyrant Rum. 
And fewer of children will suffer and roam, 
And fewer of mothers in anguish at home; 
And fewer of mothers in anguish at home; 

In anguish, in anguish at home. 

The mothers are coming I 

7. Escape from indifference, from sloth some relief, 
This cause of misfortune is doubtless the chief. 

Is doubtless the chief; 
United our efforts, in union is strength, 
And though slowly proceeding, improvement at length. 
And though slowly proceeding, improvement at length; 

Improvement, improvement at length. 

The mothers are coming ! 

8. Then waken ! our sisters, from slumber and sloth. 
No more will we linger, for evils have growth; 

For evils have growth; 
To check them ! escape them, to work we're not loth, 
Then, arouse ye ! our brothers, 2uid shun not the truth, 
Then, arouse ye I our brothers, and shun not the truth; 

And shun not, O, shun not the truth. 

The mothers are coming ! 

9. You know that misfortune your own may befall. 
Your own little children, and you beyond call; 

And you beyond call; 
Then see that conditions are fair as may be, 
O, listen to helpless ones, hear now their plea; 
O, listen to helpless ones, hear now their plea; 

And hear now, Oh, hear their plea. 

The mothers are coming ! 
12 



Sly? W^altli of t^t &tat? 

MENTAL AND MATERIAL 

(Air; Annie Laurie) 

1 . O let us now consider 

The values of the state; 
It long has been the custom 

These to enumerate; 
And proudly do we boast 

Such items, small and great; 
By this list we're much engrossed; 

We repeat; reiterate. 

2. These values are divided 

In classes separate, 
Material and mental; 

Great values of the state; 
These two, and these alone; 

Take stock, and estimate 
The good products of the mind 

And material estate. 

3. Distinctly two divisions 

In wealth of any state; 
The wealth of men's opinions, 

And stock subordinate; 
This latter elemeivt 

They do denominate 
As all other living beings; 

All things insmimate. 

4. The mountains and the rivers. 

The seas, and all therein; 
The towns and all the cities; 

To these their claim has been; 
They claim the whole round earth. 
13 



THE WEALTH OF THE STATE 

The wealth of every zone, 

And claim all things having birthright 

Upon our old eaurth-home. 

5. This ownership extending 

To forests wild and fair. 
To prairies wide, unending; 

And all thmgs living there: 
All creatures which do toil 

On farms, m summer's glare; 
Yes, including woman kind, now 

In places, not so rare. 

6. How much longer will this fiction, 

This fiction of support, 
Be offered to out women. 

Allegiance to court? 
Their countless hours of toil 

Who over cook-stoves broil, 
Should this theory reject; and 

Should earn their self-respect. 

7. Compared with any soldier 

Her hours "on duty" more; 
As seamstress, cook and laundress; 

Oft nurse girl twenty-four: 
Her mother love proclaims 

Conservation of the race; 
And no child has she for slaughter 

For aught of power or place. 

8. May this campaign continue; 

Arouse, and educate; 
And by successful effort, 
14 



—MENTAL AND MATERIAL 

All women liberate: 
And for the farmer's wife, 

Each fain would say true word; 
This a somewhat lonely life; and 

By many not preferred. 

9. More than others, in all efforts 

To aid and build the state. 
Should we regard her struggles. 

Should we appreciate. 
To her we owe a debt 

We cannot estimate; 
No such other have we met 

Nor can ever compensate. 

1 0. In her life of isolation. 

Oft times so desolate. 
With so much of all privation. 

Her toil interminate. 
She is the pioneer 

We should emancipate, 
Since she's found in neither list; is 

Not recognized by state. 

1 1 . Her opinions are not counted. 

Not sought by advocate 
Who would represent the people, 

Who would officiate; 
And, hence, she is not taught 

Her worth to contemplate; 
Her good worth of mind and thought; her 

True life to vindicate. 

12. In the list of workers lolling, 
Financial ultimate, 
15 



THE WEALTH OF THE STATE 

Will show her hours exceeding 
The most unfortunate; 

No creature on the farm 
Her hours can imitate; 

Overwork herself to harm; see 
This real subordinate. 

1 3. Her right to recognition 

We now should designate 
In one list or the other I 

Of values of the state; 
Her mental worth we'll own, 

Or, that of toil alone; 
Sole material wealth create, and 

Forever for the state. 

1 4. If material division. 

We then should obviate 
This needless indecision; 

No more procrastinate; 
These workers for the state 

Their numbers validate; 
Thus financial list increase and 

These toilers ne'er release. 

1 5. 'Tis this lack of recognition 

' Of long and toiling hours, 
Not equaled, e'en by horses. 

By mules, or other powers; 
Cannot communicate. 

Their thoughts cannot relate 
In a way to have them counted 

And recognized by state. 

1 6. Her wishes not regarded 

By city, town or state, 
16 



—MENTAL AND MATERIAL 

Her sons are made the victims — 

Saloons, men "regulate." 
Could we divine her thoughts, 

Her suffering intense, 
Weary days v^ith anguish fraught; we 

Would try to recompense, 

I 7. Would recognize our mothers, 

Their right to larger life, 
Their liberty unquestioned, 

Pursuit of happiness; 
Would no more relegate 

Them to an alien's fate; 
Would relieve from this duress and 

By deed would truly bless. 

1 8. We believe the sense of justice, 

Americans innate. 
Will correct these grave omissions: 

This wrong annihilate; 
Will no more desecrate. 

Will truly abdicate 
This most sweeping ownership 

We so much deprecate. 

1 9. We know that what we're seeking. 

Will be granted by and by; 
With financial recognition 

For our homes we'd ever ply; 
As acknowledged citizens. 

Of value to the state. 
We would try to prove our worth; would 

Our lives illuminate. 

20. The home, best institution. 

The greatest on the earth; 
17 



THE WEALTH OF THE STATE 

Its comfort, and its honor, 
Built equally by both; 

The toil of farmer's wife 

Upbuilds the home and state, 

Is no fanciful diversion. 

Best wealth does she create. 

2 1 . Homes should be represented 

More fully in the state; 
Highest values be cemented. 

And evils would abate; 
Not ruled by floating votes 

Of questionable worth, 
And deprived of votes of women, 

The many, native birth. 

22. Here 'tis not so much monoply 

As monotony that kills! 
To ignore these toiling women 

Is negligence, which chills; 
Chills power of mental growth, 

Source of eternal youth; 
The best privilege of this life 

Is seeking larger truth. 

23. This but one illustration 

Of grevious oversight. 
This forgetting of the mothers. 

This overwhelming blight. 
Assistance now we seek. 

May stronger aid the weak, 
As we climb to higher ground where 

More justice may be found. 
18 



OUR IMMORTALS 

(Air: Robin Adair) 

"What vvas't I wished to say, 

And wished to hear?" 
Ah ! now I know ! 'twas this; 

Revere, revere; 
Revere the memories 

Of those now no longer here; 
Of those who led the way 

Our lives to cheer. 

Of those who nobly led 

For liberty; 
Not numbered w^th the dead. 

Will never die; 
Names graven on our hearts; 

Mem'ries ever will remain; 
Their lives were not in vain 

Be our refrain. 

Their lives were not in vain; 

Be our refrain; 
Their words will ever live, 

Their lives our gain; 
Great gain to commonwealth; 

Untold gain to all our youth; 
To all who love the truth 

And liberty. 



The "flag of the free" means freedom to have opinions counted; 
the freedom of self-government. Withold from woman no longer this 
"right protective of all other rights." 

19 



It matters not how lame the verse. 
Or, even, if it were much worse; 
Would still repeat; remove this curse, 
Whate'er the cost to pride or purse; 
The curse of this injustice. 

Injustice always works a loss; 
Ever, though a shining dross, 
Proves a burden and a cross 
To the victim of this gloss; 

The victim of injustice.

THE Right-Protective of All Other rights" 

Constitution of the United States — 14th Amendment: "All 
persons bom or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the 
jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state 
wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which 
shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United 
States. .♦. 

Blackstone says: "The absolute rights of man, considered as 
a free agent, endowed with discernment to kpow good from evil, and 
power of choosing those measures which appear to him most desir- 
able, cU"e usually summed up in one general appellation, and denom- 
inated the natural liberty of manl^ind.^ Again: "Political, therefore, 
or civil liberty, which is that of a member of society, is no other than 
natural liberty so far restrained by human laws {and no farther) as 
is necessary and expedient for the general advantage of the public. 

»;« 

The foundation principle of civil liberty justly depends, then, 
upon the ability to discern good from evil. What body of women, 
however conservative, would wish to acknowledge that, as a class, 
they could not distinguish good from evil? 

* 

This ability "to discern good from evil" enables woman also 
to form opinions. 

The use of the ballot is the most dignified, and effective way 
to obtain the opinions of all the people. 

»:♦ 

Few, and daily fewer, are the women who oppose their ovm 
political freedom. 

A woman who insists that her opinions are not worth coun- 
ting at general elections, would consistently refrain from offering them 
to the public on other occasions. 

If some women are indifferent to the general welfare should 
all women be disfranchised? 

We honor American men because of their early struggle for 
liberty. 

With an unwavering belief in the justice of the principles they 
avowed, we can pay them no higher compliment than to follow in 
their footsteps, asking, merely, that the great doctrine of equal free- 
dom be applied to all citizens.

AmericanWomanandHerPoliticalPeers 

Copyrighted, 1899, .by Henrietta Briggs-Wall 

A painting at the World's Fair about which people are constantly 
crowding, represents Frances Willard's noble, intellectual face; above it an 
idiot and a convict, and below it a savage and a madman, all five classed 
together as the disfranchised. — Virginia D. Young, in Sumpter (S. C. ) 
Freeman. 

The incongruity of the company Miss Willard is represented as keep- 
ing is such as to at once attract attention and excite wonder, until it is ex- 
plained that such is the relative political status of American women under 
the laws of many of our states. No one can fail to be impressed with the 
absurdity of a statutory regulation that places women in the same legal cate- 
gory with the idiot, the Indian, and the insane person. — Topeka Capital. 

Concerning this pictorial presentation of a part of oiii national history, 
Miss Willard wrote to the designer, ' '/ hopz you ma\) have a great success. 

Miss Willard never wholly escaped such political classification; this 
unhappy fact, which she so keenly end constantly deplored, remains vividly 
portrayed in this picture forever. Nothing in her life was more plain than 
her wish to escape it. Few things more completely evinced her desire for 
freedom than her entire willingness to aid in furnishing this weapon of war- 
fare to her co-workers. 

The designer clearly expresses in the title chosen that it represents 
io/e/y woman's political status. — A.B.G., in Interior Herald. 

"I mean to use it as an illustration, by means of a magic lantern to a 
public lecture I shall soon read in St. Petersburg. By this lecture I pro- 
pose to acquaint my compatriots with the progress of the instruction of 
American women, to show to what extent their activity has increased of late 
as well as to explain the object of their aim in the near future. To this last 
part of my lecture your very interesting group will serve as the most convinc- 
ing and brilliant illustration." — Eugraphe Kovaleusky, Impeiial Russian 
Delegate of the Ministry of Public Instruction to World's Columbicin Ex- 
position. [Extract from letter to designer.] 

The awful humiliation that every woman who has thought of the 
matter feels when she considers the political category in which her country 
has placed her, it expressed in this picture. It is the most convincing argu- 
ment ever placed before the public of the iniquity of ranking women with 
the other classes of the disfranchised. — Woman's Tribune, Washington, D. 
C, Feb. 15, 1894. '
